Pole Waxers University, Marietta

At most universities, students learn history, math, and science by poring over dense textbooks or listening to lectures by stodgy textbooks. But, at Pole Waxers University, students take a hands-on approach to learning the art of sensual dance. The instructors at this ladies-only studio guide women of all shapes and sizes through pole-dancing techniques and aerial-dance moves, helping each guest reach her own personal pinnacle of fitness. And not all of the studio's classes take place in midair—students can also hone their twerking skills.
